“…17,18 The results of the study indicated average-level grit scores among medical students. In a study of 62 third-year medical students Cortez et al 19 reported a comparable range of grit scores of 3.51 ± 0.58. The grit score observed in this study is also within the average of 4.01 that Miller-Matero et al 6 reported in their study of 130 graduating students.…”

Purpose: A small number of researchers have proposed grit as a predictor of academic, nonacademic, and non-cognitive performance. However, no such studies have been conducted in the context of Saudi Arabian medical schools. The purpose of the present study is to examine the effect of grit on the academic performance of medical students in Majmaah University. Methods: Medical students of Majmaah University completed a survey in December 2019, answering questions on grit, personal characteristics, and academic performance. Results: In the sample, the average grit score was moderately high (M = 3.31, standard deviation = 0.60). Female students' grit scores (M = 3.47, SD = 0.56) were higher than those of males (M = 3.22, SD = 0.61) (p = 0.002). Of the academic performance variables, only the difference in mean grit score between those who repeated a year or more (M = 3.11, SD = 0.64) and non-repeaters (M = 3.39, SD = 0.57) reflected a statistical significance (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The students who have repeated a year and more have lower grit scores. A follow-up study is required to compare the grit scores with the participants' ultimate completion status.

“…Grit is defined as consistency and perseverance toward long-term goals and describes a sustained commitment to complete a task that involves effort despite failures, setbacks, and adversities (Duckworth et al, 2007), Therefore, it shows a strong relationship with the student's capacity for self-control (González et al, 2019). From recent literature, we know that through grit, students can enhance their own motivation, achievement, and well-being (Cortez et al, 2019;Seong-Lee and Chen-Hsieh, 2019). According to Akbağ and Ümmet (2017), grit and the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, as well as gender, are significant predictors of subjective wellbeing in young adults, having a positive and statistically significant relationship with each other.…”

“…But at the same time, the SDT also explains that some personal factors play a determining role in this process along with contextual factors. In this sense, the research so far has indicated that students with higher grit scores (consistency and perseverance) tend to work more persistently (Seong-Lee and Chen-Hsieh, 2019) and achieve greater psychological well-being (Cortez et al, 2019). Furthermore, numerous adaptive outcomes such as well-being and academic success are also associated with group cohesion through building positive bonds between students (Marmarosh and Markin, 2007;Thornton et al, 2019).…”

Using the Self-Determination Theory as a framework, this study tests the predictive capacity of the teacher’s interpersonal style of autonomy support at a higher education institution, and the grit on the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, intrinsic motivation, group cohesion, and life satisfaction in university students. A sample composed of 489 Colombian university students (381 women and 108 men), aged between 18 and 41 years (M = 21.93; DT = 3.58), was used; they filled in the questionnaires that measured the variables of interest. After the analysis of structural equations, the results showed that the perception of teaching style of autonomy support and the grit positively predicted the basic psychological needs and these predicted the intrinsic motivation, which in turn predicted group cohesion and satisfaction with life. The model describes the possible importance of promoting the teacher’s interpersonal style of autonomy support within the university setting in the search for satisfaction with life along with the active role of the student through the mediation of the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, increased quality motivation, and high group cohesion.

“…Medical students that routinely "shine" on surgery rotations are often very self-motivated, active learners who score highly in traits such as grit. [24] These attributes are difficult to assess through a remote learning platform where opportunities to engage in self-directed learning then report back to group were limited. This may prevent medical students from challenging themselves and from getting a sense of how they would perform as a surgical resident.…”
